About Democracy for NYC

Democracy for NYC (DFNYC) is committed to the ideals espoused by Democracy for America, the organization founded by Howard Dean, and the national network of local coalition groups dedicated to the same.

We work both locally and nationally to ensure that fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates are elected at all levels of government. We develop innovative ways to advocate for the issues that matter to our members and support legislation which has a positive effect in our communities. We promote transparency and ethical practices in government. We engage people in the political process and give them the tools to organize, communicate, mobilize, and enact change on the local, state, and national level.

This month, Linkup lands on the first night of Rosh Hashana. We understand this means many DFNYC members are celebrating and can't participate. We will have a full report on Linkup in the next newsletter and welcome your input on this issue - info-at-dfnyc.org. (Linkups have been the first Wednesday of every month for over 10 years, since they started during Howard Dean's campaign; but we do try to avoid major religious holidays when scheduling other political events.)
